No, he's an MMA fighter who has done some stand-up competitions but he's no match for the top guys in K1.

I believe May Thai is the best fighting style but unfortunately it's not a silver bullet. Being a MT guy will make a B fighter a better B fighter, but it wont make him an A I don't think.

And also, the main reason MT is a better art then Karate is because they do actual sparing. But Kyokushin does as well, so it should be a pretty good discipline as well.

Filo is an amazing athlete especialy for his age. A few years ago I saw a tape of him fighting and winning 100 consecutve matches. He never did that great in straight K1. MOst likly head punches and heavier opponents.

both cool

NO WAYY

The Jpan vs. Thailand/ Kyokushin(sp?) vs MT has shown that is actually can be with Japan winning so often......but not bullshit point karate that every 2nd grader wants to take

well said guy

respect Overeem's hammer!

Kyokushin karate is no joke. But they do not allow punches or elbows to the face/head in sparring or competition. Kyokushin practitioners train and fight hard.
Muay thai allows every stand-up weapon, barring headbutts and shoulder strikes, to be used in a fight. They train heavy cardio with light sparring and alot of pad/bag work and fight about every six weeks.
Both are good. I think Muay Thai is superior due to allowing more weapons and you are less likely to be injured in training.

sick

Yes, Kyokushin should not be underestimated...

Andy Hug showed how efficient this style can be.

LOL I was thinking that bullshit karate but its not..

Its a Kyokushin tradition. Only for people who do not know why or what is 100 consecutive matches for in Kyokushin Karate. "In addition to requiring multi-opponent sparring for upper-belt tests, a special tradition of Kyokushin has been the 50- and 100- man fight. The 100-man fight was designed as a special test for advanced practitioners of the art. In these extreme examples of multi-man fight, the subject of the test fights 50 to 100 opponents (depending on the test) in rapid succession, usually two-minute bouts separated by one-minute rest periods. The subject has to "win" (i.e. not get knocked-out) in at least 50-percent of the bouts in order to be deemed as passing the test. One example of someone who successfully completed the 100-man fight is Miyuki Miura. Reportedly, only 16 people have successfully completed the 100-man fight and 20- the 50-man fight. Masutatsu Oyama is reported to have completed a 300-man fight over 3 days.

I have been to a few Kyokushin events as a spectator, and I noted that, because they are not allowed to use hand strikes against the head, they usually fight at an unnaturally close distance. Since you fight like you train, I would guess that Kyokushin only works well in full-contact fights if the gloves are quite heavy (so attacks against the head are at a manageable speed).
